AI assists in developing Pascal version of LAPACK, aiming for GPU acceleration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Mastodon is collaborating with GitHub Copilot to develop a Pascal version of the LAPACK numerical library, which is approximately 30% complete. They anticipate reaching 80% completion within two days and plan to integrate GPU acceleration to match the performance of Python libraries like NumPy. The user also emphasized the importance of discipline and rigorous workflows when working with AI to prevent it from becoming sloppy or losing focus. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the potential for AI coding assistants to aid in complex software development tasks, potentially accelerating the creation of specialized libraries.
